Constitutional Council of France took a fair position by repealing the law criminalizing denial of so called "Armenian genocide", Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic said.
"France is the country of freedoms. Slogan of the French is the freedom and equality. If this law was passed, the interests of one social group would prevail over the interests of others. That is, the French Armenians have achieved what they wanted, but the Turks and Muslims, who live there, would have been deprived of freedom of speech" Kilic told Trend.
Kilic repeat that history should be dealt with by historians, not politicians.
"I hope that some countries, which have adopted similar laws in favor of the Armenians, will also repeal them. Because it is not only unfair and biased, but also further complicates the situation in the region" Kilic said.
Expressing his attitude to the instructions of President of France Nicolas Sarkozy to prepare a new draft law criminalizing the denial of so called "Armenian genocide", the ambassador noted that this decision is aimed against the whole of the Turkish people and does not serve to the interests of France. It is just a step towards the realization of personal interests of Sarkozy.
"I thank the President, Parliament and all political circles of Azerbaijan for sharp reaction to the law. It proves once again that we are one nation - two states," Kilic said.
